- Jethro Tull comprised of Ian Anderson (guitar, flute), Martin Barre (electric guitar), Clive Bunker (drums), Glenn Cornick (base guitar), and John Evan (keyboards) performing 'We Used to Know' during a concert in Tanglewood Massachusetts in 1970
That was ５５ years ago. I was only 11 years old and this was and still is my fav Tull's song. Brings back many memories.
1970 My God what a year for Tull! The Isle of Wight concert and, wait for it, the Muic Hall in Aberdeen concert. I didn’t see the former as my folks wouldn’t let me go, but I was lucky enough to see the latter in my home town just after turning seventeen. It was unforgettable and as a bonus Procol Harem were the support act. 😎
Life in one short song...52 years after first encountering this beauty on acid I am starting to '...slowly upstairs, faster down...' And yes after a long and sometimes tortuous night trip I looked at (not into) the sun and watched the sunlight do a magic dance on the leaves of a tree outside my window and thought, yes life is good...
I am now going to be 71 years old & of all the bands that I’ve seen & listened to over the years, Tull remains on top!
Being just shy of 64 and having an older brother who never seemed to mind taking me and my friend to shows i saw Tull the first time at a small theater in NJ just as Aqualung was being released! Six months later they sold out 5 shows at MSG we went to two of those shows with at least 25 shows to follow! Tull was always fantastic and they always had great warm up bands! Gentle Giant Rory Gallagher Robin Trower Uriah Heep! Always amazing shows! 😊😊
Cline bunker is one of the best drummers. I was fortunate to see him on the aqualung Tour in florida.
I peeped him going hard af back there
So did I. I was there on vacation and took a cab to some outdoor venue near Miami. I don’t
even know exactly what city it was, but what a show…
My favorite track off of Stand Up. This Tanglewood concert is amazing.
A timeless enduring Tull classic .
Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Glenn Cornick, Clive Bunker, John Evan - my favourite Jethro Tull.
Welcome to the Hotel Californis...what a lovely place what a lovely flute?
Hahaha...
This had to be a truly amazing show. The line up that night was It's A Beautiful Day, Jethro Tull and The Who.
Can't get any better, what an experience of a lifetime, wish I had been there too, bus as I am Dutch that would not have been possible in those days.....
Totally stunning from 1969 . Tull was way ahead of their contemporaries
I was born in '77 so I missed out on all of this Tull and Ian greatness, I can only see it through other people's eyes, so I am extremely grateful for all of you who post these videos that make me wish I could have been there! Thank you!!!
This performance belongs in a rock museum of some sort. This is as good as it gets. Wow!
We saw them four years in a row in southern cal.....69 through 72.
Everybody has their own favorites I guess......
great early Tull - Clive Bunker!!!
I was there, and had seen them twice before.
A magical time for both recorded and live music, especially in the UK and United States. Look at what was made 1967-74. Staggering.
Damn those guitarist are amazing.
Awesome
Fantastic Posting!! Only 469 viewings??!!..What's wrong with the world. Tull were one of the greatest live acts of the 70s. They were up there with The Who, Led Zeppelin, etc. Thanks for a brilliant posting, Ben. It deserves to be seen by millions.
Está fue la mejor alineación de la banda!!! 💘
Fantastic,Jethro Tull at his best!
Revisiting stony ground we used to know, indeed!
Listen to the album version of ‘We used to know’ from 1:06-2:18 and hear the guitar solos of Hotel California. Listen to the whole song and hear the chord structure of Hotel California. Then listen to Hotel California after the lyrics end to hear the whole guitar solos of ‘We used to know’ repeated practically note for note.
Two good songs but one Martin Barre should get credit on both!
plagiarism never sounded better .
Seriously? Solos aren't even close. Tull's is a ragged jam and the Eagles more well oiled and melodic. Chord structure is close, however, which is where the similarity lies.
@@rmg3red17 You must be deaf.
Never a dull..... moment
Por favor Ian!!! volvé para Argentina que te queremos ver en vivo!!!!
Love it when he dances and plays air guitar. Must have learned how at the same school as Joe Cocker.
awsome
grandi Jethro tull!!!
Saw the Aqualung tour at Music Hall in Boston. Best show. Best sound. Best damn drummer (besides Mitch Mitchell of course). Ian Anderson balled out a noisy fan during a quiet number. Great music!
I SAW THEM AT THE WEST PALM BCH AUD.IN THE EARLY 70'S. THE TOUR WITH THE RED PHONE BOOTH ON STAGE.FIVE MEN IN FULL LENGTH OVERCOATS,GLOVES,SCARVES,SHADES AND HATS WALKED TO THE FOOT OF THE STAGE,LOOKED OVER THE ENTIRE CROWD,LOOKED AT EACH OTHER,GAVE EACH OTHER THE NOD AND RIPPED THEIR CLOTHES OFF AND IT WAS THE BAND. THIS WAS SO CONVINCING EVERYONES MIND WAS BLOWN. POST THAT VIDEO IF ANYONE HAS IT. VERY COOL!
Anderson rocks......Awesome video! Thanks for the post.
Martin has such a cool freakin style.
Each to his own way I'll go mine
Best of luck with what you find
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know.
saw JT at a coffee shop in Tucson in 1970, Benefit had just been released. They looked just like this. cost.... $3.00 per person,
The most enduring of rock/folk rock bands ever
@pbldrum
boston music hall was brilliant! but this was one of the best gigs ever.
Look carefully, in the background there's Don Henley with a notepad.
Love Tull especially the 70s. Stand Up is awesome. Ian in my opinion is the best frontman in rock next to Jagger. All my friends were Zep fans and while Plant has a great voice and lyrics he couldn't hold a candle to Ian in concert.
JJ SKI Robert had his amazing beauty as well. Ian was the far greater performer.
And Ian does it with a flute!!
While Ian is my first love, if we're talking about 70s front men don't forget Peter Gabriel
absolutely!!!
Totally agree with you!
I never heard this Jethro Tull song. But I'm very familiar with Hotel California. That's really neat how they use the same chord sequence :)
This pre-dates the Eagles.
Dean Haas, Jr. so...
@@DeanHaasJr by several years. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Oh...I agree with you 100% about it not being a bad thing.
In fact, when bands get to be too mainstream, I tend to stop listening.....overplay on the radio, etc..
same here dude
Ahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy!
Yeah - close enuff ... I can imagine the Eagles sitting backstage and playing along to that riff . The guitar solos sound similar - but Eagles had the killer chorus - " Welcome ...
Interesting as the last riff seems like a teasing for Thick As A Brick.
the jist of the song is identical
yea, i caught the resemblance, [quite a few yrs ago] very similar progressions. but this is TULL, and HC is a totally diff song...just uses some of the same chord progressions...i loved TULL since the early `70s!
That's just a matter of personal taste.
Personally, I'd never put any Eagles song in the same category as stuff Tull did.
But as I said, it's just a matter of taste.
(I do note that you said "sad"...I agree!)
This song is amazing, but I’d put Desperado over it
Early on, Tull wasn't as mainstream as were those bands until Aqualung came along. Suddenly they became much more mainstream and less "underground".
"Hey everybody, before we go do you want to hear "Hotel Calif..." oh, I mean "We used to know?"
Right?
hotel california c'est bien inspiré!
Sorry, I had tix 3 times before, all at Fillmore east. I just got my license, had late show tix and it's snowing, so we punked out, some older guys bought the tix. Who knew? Benefit then was released. Ian gets a sore throat. No Tull. Humble Pie played til sunup, great. 3rd time, still Benefit, get tix, some concert called the Shea Stadium Peace Festival comes together, Bill Graham closes the Fillmore, no Tull. Spring '71, finally see Tull play Aqualung in Philly at the Spectrum.
Billykid51410 - Maybe he accidently heard the song played from the hugely selling album on the radio, at a party, hummed by a fellow Eaglet? other musician?? It was not only played at Concerts with Eagles and Tull. That said, both songs are great. By the way, have you listened to Charlie Daniels "Reflections"? Chas's song it great as well. At the end of the day, this is what makes music so interesting...... just enjoy!
Felder was not an Eagle at the time...
Hmmm, though he knew Bernie for years before... Was through Bernie he joined the band. Some trivia here, In the 60's Don Felder's first band was with Stephen Stills, He met Bernie Leadon about the same time. He is one of the few who learned to play slide guitar from Duane Allman himself, In that early period Felder gave guitar lessons to Tom Petty I think. The Eagles brought in Walsh through Felder... and I can;t help wonder if they met through Duane Allman?
Из Рашки я один слушаю Jethro Tull!
Рашка?????это бред автор, повторный бред что один.
Song starts at 2:05.
i agree however i think it was Anderson's antics that really was what made them not as popular in the end. maybe i'm wrong
did tony iommi play for jethro tull?
Yes briefly!.......
What are U, 12?
I think the instrument is bass guitar.
I am not trying to be a smart ass here but according to felders book he came up with the guitar part to hotel whilst sitting on a chair stairing out at the oceon from his malibu beach house.
Are you listening Eagles?
BenDrnach, Tull is my favorite band, hands down, and I'm not even that much of an Eagles fan - though I respect them and love a good many of their songs - but I'd still have to say that Hotel California is head and shoulders a greater song than We Used to Know. Hotel was a bolt of lightning of creativity, close to Stairway in its development and build up, and the incredible guitar solo outro. Just my opinion. I hate the draw the wrath of my fellow 5 Star Tull Junkies! *ducks for cover*...
Ian Trevor Im a huge Tull Fan...and i Love the Eagles as well....Both songs use the same chord sequence...but that is where it ends...Both songs are great...no offense taken from me
+Ian Trevor But I don't like the Eagles.
Both songs and bands are amazing
Yeah, they're different songs from different bands. Similar, sure! One influenced by the other? Maybe, who knows, who cares. They don't appeal to the same taste. I'm a Joe Walsh fan so I'm not gonna knock Hotel Cali but, personally, I prefer Things We Used to Know. Then again maybe that's cuz I'm in a band that plays Hotel California (badly).
Eagles definitely copied.
The world has gone to Hell. Can't you tell? Just listen to today's music versus the music of the 60s and 70s when all was right with the world.
I set out to prove that there were too many differences in the beginning rift but found that they are almost identical ...except for 1 cord.That said the arrangement of hotel's pattern is so much superior and the vocals so much more clear that if the rift was taken from Tull by Felder he improved it to such a degree that it cant be considered plagiarism.
that i am, are you?
joo ihakiva
Tanglewood...better than Madison Square Garden....Tull arrived.
Very derivative
Hotel California would have been inspired from that song.
Look, what is with you all? The Eagles didn't yet exist when this was written/recorded, and yes, some riffs sound similar, but that's where it ends. Guess what, there are only so many chords and chord progressions, and most of the best ones were all written by the 70's, so they are bound to overlap. Ask Led Zep.
Dean Haas, Jr. sorry but the Eagles were a warm up band for Tull then and had already recorded Take it Easy. I saw them, then they left Tull (Tull thought they were too country) and the Eagles joined the Yes tour where I saw them again in Columbia SC just after they recorded Desperado.
@@martyhodan8377 We Used to Know was recorded by Tull in '68..........pre-Eagles.
@@martyhodan8377 The first Eagles album wasn't even released until '72 - Bernie Leadon was still in Flying Burrito Brothers, playing with Gram Parsons, and the others were backing up Linda Ronstadt...not to mention it was Jackson Browne who wrote Take It Easy.
@@martyhodan8377 Anyway, Hotel California came out way after that, and if anyone copied anyone, it was the eagles who did, as much as I liked them.
Dean Haas, Jr. Jethro Tull and the Eagles did share a bill in 1972 when Tull were on tour for their classic album Thick as a Brick.
sounds like hotel california
Eagles couldn't write good tunes.
Eagles...fine in their own genre...but not prog rock...apples and oranges
Felder wasn't even in The Eagles when they toured with Tull so they couldn't have stole it then
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? If chord progressions can be copyrighted, no song writing is possible!
All this about comparing "We Used to Know" to "Hotel California", is bull.
There are plenty of songs out there that sound a lot like other songs. And besides, who cares? They are both gr8 songs.
It's virtually the same tune, even the solo.
Oh ya, a rip of a Tull tune. Great job Eagles.
Kelly Kleinman Coincidence, I'm sure. There are only so many notes, so many chords, so many possibilities for melody and song structure. Why would gifted musicians steal from one another, intentionally? it makes no sense. It's not logical. Most of what is called plagiarism is more likely the cross-talk of creative minds, cross currents of imagination overlapping, absorbing, re-creating. There are real plagiarists, but those people are shallow individuals in the majority, not creative artists. IMHO.
Maybe, but I'll go with a variation on a theme based on the theory that they liked the chord progression and changed it slightly. The old saying is "Your idea is mine over time" and this tends to match well with songwriters. I'm sure it's unintentional sometimes but your point is very well taken.
+Kelly Kleinman You could very well be right, Kelly! Who's to know for sure? The mighty Zep is far and away the most "guilty" band when it comes to borrowing or outright stealing ideas - BUT, what Pagey and crew did with those ideas was amazing! I think Zeppelin might go down in history as the single greatest cover band, or band that took initial musical and lyrical ideas from other artists and built monumentally epic rock songs out of them. I just wish that Page and Plant would be upfront and admit to this, and give credit where credit is obviously due! What do they stand to lose? Nothing. What do they stand to gain? Everything! The continued respect of fans all around the world of their epic contribution to music and culture.
Does it really matter? Ya they took a guitar bit....wow. They took that bit and made a great song in its own right. Not anybody can take that guitar piece and make a HC. I could see if they made a complete rip off that was basically identical to the original
I didn't catch the resemblance at all, hmmm
Hotel California?
Yes, Hotel California has been inspired from that song.
Not in hall of Fame bullshit!!!
I think these guys plagiarized the eagles hotel California.
It's the other way around
This is originally from 1968
